Key Lime is my favorite! All the neighborhood kids always thought I was strange growing up. Instead of getting a standard birthday cake all I ever wanted was either a Key Lime Pie or Lemmon Meringue Pie.

Me too, Derek! Instead of a cake, I would always request a pie for my birthday - pumpkin was my favorite... I'm glad I'm not the only strange one!

BTW, instead of Key Lime, I've used plain 'ol lemon juice in the above recipe, and it will fool most folks who think it is Key Lime...

This reminded me of the time I was on the quest for the perfect Key Lime pie recipe. One version I made had meringue, and I must have done something wrong. The pie looked great, but when I went to cut it, the entire meringue top stuck to the knife and came off the pie. I was laughing so hard (holding the knife with a disc of meringue stuck on it) that I could not fininsh slicing. It has gone down in family history as the "Tar-Baby Meringue" pie.

By the way, the best Key Lime pie is found at the Crow's Nest restaurant in the Cayman Islands.

My wife and I are aficionado's of Key Lime pies - every place we go that serves the treat, we will order a slice and try it out. Funny, but we have never found a pie in the Florida Keys that was good ... But once we stopped off at a place (a dilapidated 'ol place off of Florida Rt.1 on the way to the Keys) that made the best pie that we've ever tasted. I've certain that the place is long gone - this was over thirty years ago...

This recipe that DF posted is simple and good - we've made it dozens of times, so it is highly recommended!

Oh, we like cheesecake too - and my wife does make the best cheesecakes - made them for restaurants in the past...
